Boy, their approach is weird... (Destiny)

When you guys first started developing raids for the first time, philosophically were there things that set a raid apart from the rest of the content in Destiny that you’re like ‘Okay this is what makes something a raid as opposed to a strike?’
The fact that we can account for you having voice communication is big.

We started with some highfalutin' ideas and literary themes that we were trying to achieve, and through iterations it actually became about smashing s--- into other s---. So I guess the smart version of [the RoI Raid theme] would be collision.

Hopefully it doesn't have an odd contrast by demanding precision. I want a mess to be a glorious mess, so that we rise from the debris...

That's why Crota's End is my favorite raid to replay to this day. I think VoG is a better raid, but CE benefits from how "loose" it can be. You can jump in with a group of 6 (or 5, or 4, 3... even 2) and just sort of crash through it. You can have a super efficient run where a team nails everything and 15 minutes later you're done and you all feel like superheros, or you can trip your way through a comedy of errors and still be done in 30 minutes and spend the whole time laughing.
